v0.25.2 (2023-10-08)

Features

• Added navigationLeaves option to remove branches from the navigation tree, #2382.
• Added sortEntryPoints option (defaults to true) to allow disabling entry point sorting, #2393.
• Improved support for multi-word searches, #2400.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed conversion of @template constraints on JSDoc defined type parameters, #2389.
• Invalid link validation is now correctly suppressed before all projects have been converted in packages mode, #2403.
• Fixed tsconfig handling for projects using a solution-style tsconfig, #2406.
• Fixed broken settings icons caused by icon caching introduced in 0.25.1, #2408.

v0.25.1 (2023-09-04)

Features

• Added stripYamlFrontmatter config option to remove YAML frontmatter from README.md, #2381.
• Added --excludeCategories config option to remove reflections present in any excluded category, #1407.
• If no tsconfig.json file is present, TypeDoc will now attempt to compile without setting any compiler options, #2304.
• Navigation is now written to a JS file and built dynamically, which significantly decreases document generation time with large projects and also provides large space benefits. Themes may now override DefaultTheme.buildNavigation to customize the displayed navigation tree, #2287. Note: This change renders navigation.fullTree obsolete. If you set it, TypeDoc will warn that it is being ignored. It will be removed in v0.26.
• The search index is now compressed before writing, which reduces most search index sizes by ~5-10x.
• TypeDoc will now attempt to cache icons when DefaultThemeRenderContext.icons is overwritten by a custom theme. Note: To perform this optimization, TypeDoc relies on DefaultThemeRenderContext.iconCache being rendered within each page. TypeDoc does it in the defaultLayout template.
• Cache URL derivation during generation, #2386.

Bug Fixes

• @property now works as expected if used to override a method's documentation.
• Deprecated functions/methods are now correctly rendered with a struck-out name.
• --watch mode works again, #2378.
• Improved support for optional names within JSDoc types, #2384.
• Fixed duplicate rendering of reflection flags on signature parameters, #2385.
• TypeDoc now handles the intrinsic keyword if TS intrinsic types are included in documentation.
• --exclude is now respected when expanding globs in entry points, #2376.

Thanks!

Features

Thanks!

• TypeDoc will now allow conversion without any entry points to support "readme only" packages, #2264.

Bug Fixes

• Category children are now sorted according to the sort option, #2272.
• Inline tags no longer require a space after the tag name to be parsed as a tag, #2273.
• Fixed module/namespace links in navigation when viewed in Safari, #2275.

Features

• Improved error messaging if a provided entry point could not be converted into a documented module reflection, #2242.
• API: Added support for g, circle, ellipse, polygon, and polyline svg elements, #2259.
• Extended jsDocCompatibility option with inheritDocTag to ignore fully lowercase inheritDoc tags and ignoreUnescapedBraces to disable warnings about unescaped { and } characters in comments.

Bug Fixes

• --useTsLinkResolution is no longer ignored within block tags, #2260.
• The current namespace will also be expanded in the navigation on page load, #2260.

v0.24.5 (2023-04-22)

Features

• Categories and groups can now be shown in the navigation, added --navigation.includeCategories and --navigation.includeGroups to control this behavior. The --categorizeByGroup option also effects this behavior. If categorizeByGroup is set (the default) and navigation.includeGroups is not set, the value of navigation.includeCategories will be effectively ignored since categories will be created only within groups, #1532.
• Added support for discovering a "module" comment on global files, #2165.
• Added copy code to clipboard button, #2153.
• Function @returns blocks will now be rendered with the return type, #2180.

Thanks!

• @FlippieCoetser

v0.24.4 (2023-04-16)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed broken semantic coloring, #2247.
• Increased contrast for parameter titles in dark mode to meet WCAG AA contrast requirements, #2244.
• Underline color of index links now matches the text color, #2245.
• Increased contract for active menu item text in dark mode.

v0.24.3 (2023-04-16)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed path expansion on Windows preventing generation, #2243 and #2241.

v0.24.2 (2023-04-15)

Features

• Added semantic link coloring for reflection names & links, #2227. Note: This resulted in function signatures becoming too busy for easy scanning with even slightly complicated signatures as such, TypeDoc now only renders parameter names in the signature title and includes the type in the parameter details as usual. This can be controlled with the new --hideParameterTypesInTitle option.
• Conditional types will now render their branches on the next line for easier comprehension.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed & showing as & and HTML text showing up in page contents navigation, #2224.

• Added enum-member-source-order specialization of the source-order sort strategy which only compares enum members, #2237.
• Updated highlight colors for semantic links to meet WCAG AA contrast requirements, #2228.
• Type parameters are now highlighted consistently, #2230.
• Fixed semantic coloring in type and function signatures, #2227.
• Fixed issue where removing a reflection indirectly containing an object/function type would only partially remove the reflection, #2231.
• Fixed "Implementation of X.y" links if a mixture of methods and property-methods are used, #2233.
• "Implementation of" text to symbol-properties not contained in the documentation will now use the resolved name instead of a __@ symbol name, #2234.
• Fix expansion of globs if a single entry point is provided, #2235.
• Validation will no longer be skipped for sub packages when running with --entryPointStrategy packages.
• Fixed broken theme toggle if the page contained a member named "theme".

Thanks!
